It might well be an Arts and Crafts tea room In phoniest Victoria, B.C. Since what goes on inside could pass for rites Of aliens, a more appropriate Design might be Frank Gehry’s oddities Scaled down somewhat, or geodesic dome With mirrors on its inner surfaces, The better to entice voyeurs, and, curved, Enlarge endowments; be a Fun House plus. In sex what is desired is not ideals But templates: figures to be laid upon, Be possible to do, and capable Of frequent repetition. Sandman next, Dew Fairy after, in the chosen wood One’s lost in, any fantasy will do, And of our hungry actuality The Fourteen Angels, sexless, cannot know. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Our homefolk need not wait for news. We send no letters. We are proud We cast them off by coming here. Our cell phone calls are largely local; Their billing, though, is no small beer, For we are nothing if not vocal. It’s well behind, that life of porn In plain manila envelopes. And one out here can be reborn As porn himself. A while, one hopes. Not everything, of course, works out. Hustlers in time seem merely tramps; A small town’s walls still close about: No exit. But we save on stamps. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Two more regimes And no one will remember what it was, Except that Baku’s oil replaced the Shah’s. My homeland was the stairs and not the steppes: Odessa. Vodka? Thanks. And with a Schweppes. It was the Berlin Brits who taught me that. And I teach them? Back flips, an acrobat Might say, since I’m a top. One must give in Only so far. I‘m not a knees-up Finn. My friends who did go home when all four Powers Pulled out are making book in their off hours Or on the corner selling nested dolls. I can at least buy better alcohols. I didn‘t, you did? Well, free enterprise Is not just umlauts on Big Macs and fries. I‘m no dumb muzhik. When I had my pay I‘d go to see--how is it that you say-The “People‘s Theatre.” Volksbuhne.

But as he makes a second choice I see his method is not more Than eeny-meeny-miney-moe. It turns up Kitty Wells. If first Impressions count, he’s made his point: No one would think that he is deaf, And, contact made, he goes from there. Sex is, when all is said, non-verbal. Note: I do not say non-vocal. Leveling the playing field Or cashing in on its extremes, A muteness with a sound track scores. In failure to communicate One simply re-invents the rules.
